Dear Outlaws,  
  
  
  
  
The trains blasting away after leaving the station wasn't doing it for me so I decided to mod this. After a bit of research here are the results. Hope you enjoy!  
  
Pros:  
* Top speeds of trains have been adjusted to their real life steam locomotives "Thatcher Perkins" 4-6-0 (100 mph) and NYC #999 4-4-0 (86mph)
* Acceleration & deacceleration both depend on the weight of the locomotive and the number of cars behind it (heavier -> slower start, longer time to stop)
* This affects all NPC trains

  
Cons:  
* For simplicity, I made the calculations with car weights set to 100 tones regardless of type (box car or passenger car)
* BUG: Smoke stack disappears around 67 mph for some reason
* Mission braking bugs? I haven't tested every mission with trains

  
Requirements:
